the right, at any time beginning on the Exercise Date but prior to
3:00 p.m., Central Time, on the Expiration Date, to purchase from the
Company up to the number of fully paid and nonassessable Warrant
Shares to which the Holder may at the time be entitled to purchase
pursuant to this Warrant, upon surrender to the Company, at its
principal office, of the Warrant to be exercised, together with the
purchase form on the reverse thereof, duly filled in and signed, and
upon payment to the Company of the Exercise Price for the number of
Warrant Shares in respect of which the Warrant is then exercised, but
in no event for less than 100 Warrant Shares (unless fewer than an
aggregate of 100 Warrant Shares are then purchasable under all
outstanding Warrants held by a Holder).
(b) In lieu of payment of the Exercise Price, the Holder may
require the Company to convert this Warrant into shares of Common
Stock (the "Conversion Right") as provided for in this Section 2.1(b).
Upon exercise of the Conversion Right, the Company shall deliver to
the Holder (without payment by the Holder of any of the Exercise
Price) that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient
obtained by dividing (x) the value of the Warrant at the time the
Conversion Right is exercised (determined by subtracting the aggregate
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the exercise of the
Conversion Right from the aggregate Current Market Price for the
Common Stock immediately prior to the exercise of the Conversion Right
by (y) the Current Market Price of the Common Stock.
2.2. Payment of Exercise Price. Payment of the aggregate Exercise
Price may be made in cash or by check, or any combination thereof.
2.3. Issuance of Shares. Upon surrender of this Warrant and payment of
the applicable Exercise Price, the Company shall issue and cause to be delivered
with all reasonable dispatch to or upon the written order of the Holder and in
the name or names the Holder may designate, a certificate or certificates for
the number of full Warrant Shares so purchased upon the exercise of this
Warrant, together with cash, as provided in Section 12 hereof, in respect of any
D-3
fraction of a Warrant Share that would otherwise have been issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant.
2.4. Status as Holder of Shares. Upon receipt of this Warrant by the
company following any exercise by the Holder, the Holder shall be deemed to be
the holder of record of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise,
notwithstanding that the transfer books of the Company may then be closed or
that certificates representing the Warrant Shares may not have been prepared or
actually delivered to the Holder.
SECTION 3. TRANSFERABILITY AND FORM OF WARRANT
3.1. Limitation on Transfer. Any assignment or transfer of this
Warrant shall be made by presentation and surrender hereof to the Company at its
principal office or the office of its transfer agent, if any, accompanied by a
duly executed Assignment Form. Upon the presentation and surrender of these
items to the Company, the Company, at its sole expense, shall execute and
deliver to the transferee or transferees of this Warrant a new Warrant or
Warrants, in the name of the transferee or transferees named in the Assignment
Form, and this Warrant shall at that time be canceled.
3.2. Exchange of Certificate. This Warrant may be exchanged for
another Warrant or Warrants entitling the Warrantholder to purchase a like
aggregate number of Warrant Shares as the Warrant or Warrants surrendered then
entitled the Warrantholder to purchase. Any Warrantholder desiring to exchange a
Warrant shall make a request in writing delivered to the Company, and shall
surrender, properly endorsed, with signatures guaranteed, the Warrant to be
exchanged. Thereupon, the Company shall execute and deliver to the person
entitled thereto a new Warrant as requested.
3.3. Mutilated, Lost, Stolen, or Destroyed Certificate. In case the
certificate evidencing this Warrant shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or
destroyed, the Company shall, at the request of the Warrantholder, issue and
deliver in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated
certificate, or in lieu of and substitution for the certificate lost, stolen or
destroyed, a new Warrant of like tenor representing an equivalent right or
interest, but only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the
loss, theft or destruction of the Warrant and a bond of indemnity, if requested,
also satisfactory in form and amount, at the applicant's cost. Applicants for
substitute Warrants shall also comply with any other reasonable regulations and
pay any other reasonable charges the Company may request.
SECTION 4. ADJUSTMENT OF NUMBER OF SHARES
The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of
this Warrant and the Exercise Price payable shall be subject to adjustment from
time to time upon the happening of certain events, as follows:
4.1. Adjustments. The number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the
exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustments
as follows:
(a) In case the Company shall (i) pay a dividend in Common Stock
or make a distribution to its stockholders in Common Stock, (ii)
D-4
subdivide its outstanding Common Stock, (iii) combine its outstanding
Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or (iv)
issue by classification of its Common Stock other securities of the
Company, then in any of the foregoing cases, the number of Warrant
Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant immediately prior
thereto shall be adjusted so that the Warrantholder shall be entitled
to receive the kind and number of Warrant Shares or other securities
of the Company that it would have owned or would have been entitled to
receive immediately after the happening of any of the events described
above, had the Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the
happening of the event or any record date with respect thereto. Any
adjustment made pursuant to this subsection 4.1(a) shall become
effective immediately after the effective date of the event
retroactive to the record date, if any, for the event.
(b) If the Company shall issue rights, options, warrants, or
convertible securities to all or substantially all holders of its
Common Stock, without any charge to the holders, entitling them to
subscribe for or purchase Common Stock at a price per share that is
lower at the record date mentioned below than the then Current Market
Price, the number of Warrant Shares thereafter purchasable upon the
exercise of this Warrant shall be determined by multiplying the number
of Warrant Shares theretofore purchasable upon exercise of this
Warrant by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance
of the rights, options, warrants or convertible securities, plus the
number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription
or purchase, and the denominator of which shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance
of the rights, options, warrants, or convertible securities, plus the
number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate offering price of
the total number of shares offered would purchase at the Current
Market Price as of the record date. The adjustment shall be made
whenever rights, options, warrants, or convertible securities are
issued, and shall become effective immediately and retroactively to
the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to
receive the rights, options, warrants, or convertible securities.
(c) If the Company shall distribute to all or substantially all
holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets
(excluding cash dividends or distributions out of earnings) or rights,
options, warrants, or convertible securities containing the right to
subscribe for or purchase Common Stock (excluding those referred to in
subsection 4.1(b) above), then in each case the number of Warrant
Shares thereafter purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall
be determined by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares theretofore
purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant by a fraction, of which the
numerator shall be the then Current Market Price on the date of
distribution, and the denominator of which shall be the Current Market
Price on the date of distribution minus the then fair value
(determined as provided in subparagraph (e) below) of the portion of
the assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or of the
subscription rights, options, warrants, or convertible securities
applicable to one share. The adjustment shall be made whenever any
distribution is made and shall become effective on the date of
distribution retroactive to the record date for the determination of
stockholders entitled to receive the distribution.
D-5
(d) No adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable
pursuant to this Warrant shall be required unless the adjustment would
require an increase or decrease of at least one percent in the number
of Warrant Shares then purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant
or, if this Warrant is not then exercisable, the number of Warrant
Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant on the first date
thereafter that this Warrant becomes exercisable; provided, however,
that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (4.1(d)) are
not required to be made immediately shall be carried forward and taken
into account in any subsequent adjustment.
(e) Whenever the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the
exercise of this Warrant is adjusted, as herein provided, the Exercise
Price payable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted by
multiplying the Exercise Price immediately prior to the adjustment by
a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Warrant
Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant immediately prior
to the adjustment, and the denominator of which shall be the number of
Warrant Shares so purchasable immediately thereafter.
(f) Whenever the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon
exercise of this Warrant is adjusted as herein provided, the Company
shall cause to be promptly mailed to the Warrantholder by first class
mail, postage prepaid, notice of the adjustment and a certificate of
the chief financial officer of the Company setting forth the number of
Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant after the
adjustment, a brief statement of the facts requiring the adjustment
and the computation by which the adjustment was made.
(g) For the purpose of this Section 4.1, the term "Common Stock"
shall mean (i) the class of stock designated as the Common Stock of
the Company as of the Issue Date of this Warrant, or (ii) any other
class of stock resulting from successive changes or reclassifications
of the Common Stock consisting solely of changes in par value, or from
par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value. If, at
any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section
4, the Warrantholder shall become entitled to purchase any securities
of the Company other than Common Stock, then (y) if the
Warrantholder's right to purchase is on any other basis than that
available to all holders of the Company's Common Stock, the Company
shall obtain an opinion of an independent investment banking firm
valuing the other securities and (z) thereafter the number of other
securities so purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as
nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the
Warrant Shares contained in this Section 4.
(h) Upon the expiration of any rights, options, warrants, or
conversion privileges, if they shall have not been exercised, the
number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants, to
the extent the Warrants have not then been exercised, shall, upon such
expiration, be readjusted and shall thereafter be as they would have
been had they been originally adjusted (or had the original adjustment
not been required, as the case may be) on the basis of (i) the fact
that the only shares of Common Stock so issued were the shares of
Common Stock, if any, actually issued or sold upon the exercise of the
D-6
rights, options, warrants, or conversion privileges, and (ii) the fact
that the shares of Common Stock, if any, were issued or sold for the
consideration actually received by the Company upon the exercise plus
the consideration, if any, actually received by the Company for the
issuance, sale or grant of all such rights, options, warrants, or
conversion privileges whether or not exercised; provided, however,
that no readjustment shall have the effect of decreasing the number of
Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant by an amount
in excess of the amount of the adjustment initially made in respect of
the issuance, sale, or grant of such rights, options, warrants, or
conversion rights.
4.2. No Adjustment for Dividends. Except as provided in Section 4.1,
no adjustment in respect of any dividends or distributions out of earnings shall
be made during the term, or upon the exercise, of this Warrant.
4.3. No Adjustment in Certain Cases. No adjustments shall be made
pursuant to Section 4 hereof in connection with the issuance of the Common Stock
upon the conversion, if any, of the Company's 12% Secured Convertible Promissory
Notes or exercise of any warrants issued to the holders thereof in connection
therewith. No adjustments shall be made pursuant to Section 4 hereof in
connection with the grant or exercise of presently authorized or outstanding
options to purchase, or the issuance of shares of Common Stock under, the
Company's director or employee benefit plan.
4.4. Preservation of Purchase Rights upon Reclassification,
Consolidation, etc. In case of any consolidation of the Company with or merger
of the Company into another corporation, or in case of any sale or conveyance to
another corporation of the property, assets, or business of the Company as an
entirety or substantially as an entirety, the Company or successor or purchasing
corporation, as the case may be, shall execute with the Warrantholder an
agreement that the Warrantholder shall have the right thereafter upon payment of
the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the action to purchase, upon
exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares and other securities and
property that it would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the
happening of the consolidation, merger, sale, or conveyance had this Warrant
been exercised immediately prior to the action. In the event of a merger
described in Section 368(a)(2)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, in which
the Company is the surviving corporation, the right to purchase Shares under the
Warrants shall terminate on the date of such merger and thereupon the Warrants
shall become null and void, but only if the controlling corporation shall agree
to substitute for the Warrants, its warrants which entitle the holder thereof to
purchase upon their exercise the kind and amount of shares and other securities
and property which it would have owned or been entitled to receive had the
Warrants been exercised immediately prior to such merger. Any such agreements
referred to in this Section 4.4 shall provide for adjustments, which shall be as
nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in
Section 4 hereof. The provisions of this Section (4.4) shall similarly apply to
successive consolidations, mergers, sales, or conveyances.
4.5. Par Value of Shares of Common Stock. Before taking any action
which would cause an adjustment effectively reducing the portion of the Exercise
Price allocable to each Share below the par value per share of the Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the Company will take any corporate
action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the
D-7
Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Common Stock
upon exercise of the Warrants.
4.6. Independent Public Accountants. The Company may retain a firm of
independent public accountants of recognized national standing (which may be any
such firm regularly employed by the Company) to make any computation required
under this Section 4, and a certificate signed by the firm shall be conclusive
evidence of the correctness of any computation made under this Section 4.
4.7. Treasury Stock. For purposes of this Section 4, shares of Common
Stock owned or held at any relevant time by, or for the account of, the Company,
in its treasury or otherwise, shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes
of the calculations and adjustments described.
SECTION 5. NOTICE TO HOLDERS
If, prior to the expiration of this Warrant either by its terms or by
its exercise in full, any of the following shall occur:
(a) the Company shall declare a dividend or authorize any other
distribution on its Common Stock; or
(b) the Company shall authorize the granting to the shareholders
of its Common Stock of rights to subscribe for or purchase any
securities or any other similar rights; or
(c) any reclassification, reorganization or similar change of the
Common Stock, or any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a
party, or the sale, lease, or exchange of any significant portion of
the assets of the Company; or
(d) the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding up of the Company; or
(e) any purchase, retirement or redemption by the Company of its
Common Stock;
then, and in any such case, the Company shall deliver to the Holder or Holders
written notice thereof at least 30 days prior to the earliest applicable date
specified below with respect to which notice is to be given, which notice shall
state the following:
(x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of
the dividend, distribution or rights, or, if a record is not to be
taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record
entitled to the dividend, distribution or rights will be determined;
(y) the date on which any reclassification, reorganization,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation,
winding up or purchase, retirement or redemption is expected to become
effective, and the date, if any, as of which the Company's holders of
Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common
Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon the
D-8
reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale,
transfer, dissolution, liquidation, winding up, purchase, retirement
or redemption; and
(z) if any matters referred to in the foregoing clauses (x) and
(y) are to be voted upon by holders of Common Stock, the date as of
which the shareholders entitled to vote will be determined.
SECTION 6. OFFICERS' CERTIFICATE
Whenever the Exercise Price or the aggregate number of Warrant Shares
purchasable pursuant to this Warrant shall be adjusted as required by the
provisions of Section 4 above, the Company shall promptly file with its
Secretary or an Assistant Secretary at its principal office, and with its
transfer agent, if any, an officers' certificate executed by the Company's
President and Secretary or Assistant Secretary, describing the adjustment and
setting forth, in reasonable detail, the facts requiring the adjustment and the
basis for and calculation of the adjustment in accordance with the provisions of
this Warrant. Each such officers' certificate shall be made available to the
Holder or Holders of this Warrant for inspection at all reasonable times, and
the Company, after each adjustment, shall promptly deliver a copy of the
officers' certificate relating to that adjustment to the Holder or Holders of
this Warrant. The officers' certificate described in this Section 6 shall be
deemed to be conclusive as to the correctness of the adjustment reflected
therein if, and only if, no Holder of this Warrant delivers written notice to
the Company of an objection to the adjustment within 30 days after the officers'
certificate is delivered to the Holder or Holders of this Warrant. The Company
will make its books and records available for inspection and copying during
normal business hours by the Holder so as to permit a determination as to the
correctness of the adjustment. Failure to prepare or provide the officers'
certificate shall not modify the parties' rights hereunder.
SECTION 7. RESERVATION OF WARRANT SHARES
There has been reserved, and the Company shall at all times keep
reserved so long as this Warrant remains outstanding, out of its authorized and
unissued Common Stock, a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to support
the full exercise hereof. Every transfer agent for the Common Stock and other
securities of the Company issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant will be
irrevocably authorized and directed at all times to reserve a number of
authorized shares and other securities as shall be requisite for such purpose.
The Company will keep a copy of this Warrant on file with every transfer agent
for the Common Stock and other securities of the Company issuable upon the
exercise of this Warrant. The Company will supply every transfer agent with duly
executed stock and other certificates, as appropriate, for such purpose and will
provide or otherwise make available any cash which may be payable as provided in
Section 11 hereof.
SECTION 8. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER.
The Warrantholder agrees that prior to making any disposition of this
Warrant or the Warrant Shares, the Warrantholder shall give written notice to
the Company describing briefly the manner in which any proposed disposition is
D-9
to be made; and no disposition shall be made if the Company has notified the
Warrantholder that, in the opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Warrantholder, a registration statement or other notification or post-effective
amendment thereto (hereinafter collectively a "Registration Statement") under
the Act is required with respect to the disposition and no Registration
Statement has been filed by the Company with, and declared effective, if
necessary, by, the Commission.
SECTION 9. PAYMENT OF TAXES
The Company will pay all documentary stamp taxes, if any, attributable
to the initial issuance of this Warrant or the shares of Common Stock comprising
the Warrant Shares; provided, however, the Company shall not be required to pay
any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer of the Warrants or
Warrant Shares.
SECTION 10. TRANSFER TO COMPLY WITH THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933
This Warrant, the Warrant Shares, and any other securities issued or
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, may not be offered, sold or transferred,
in whole or in part, except in compliance with the Act, and except in compliance
with all applicable state securities laws. The Company may cause substantially
the following legends, or their equivalents, to be set forth on each certificate
representing the Warrant Shares and any other security issued or issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant, not theretofore distributed to the public or sold to
underwriters, as defined by the Act, for distribution to the public:
(a) "THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR ANY STATE SECURITIES
LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, EXCHANGED, HYPOTHECATED OR TRANSFERRED IN
ANY MANNER EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH SUCH LAWS AND THE WARRANT
PURSUANT TO WHICH THEY WERE ISSUED."
(b) Any legend required by applicable state securities laws.
Any certificate issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any
certificate bearing such legends (except a new certificate issued upon
completion of a public distribution pursuant to a registration statement under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), or the securities
represented thereby) shall also bear the above legends unless, in the opinion of
the Company's counsel, the securities represented thereby need no longer be
subject to such restrictions.
SECTION 11. FRACTIONAL SHARES
No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be
issued upon the exercise of all or any part of this Warrant. With respect to any
fraction of a share of any security called for upon any exercise of this
Warrant, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in money equal to that
fraction multiplied by the Current Market Price of that share.
D-10
SECTION 12. NO RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER; NOTICES TO WARRANTHOLDER
Nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring
upon the Warrantholder or its transferees any rights as a stockholder of the
Company, including the right to vote, receive dividends, consent or receive
notices as a stockholder in respect to any meeting of stockholders for the
election of directors of the Company or any other matter. The Company covenants,
however, that for so long as this Warrant is at least partially unexercised, it
will furnish any Holder of this Warrant with copies of all reports and
communications furnished to the shareholders of the Company. In addition, if at
any time prior to the expiration of the Warrants and prior to their exercise,
any one or more of the following events shall occur:

(b) a dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of the Company
(other than in connection with a consolidation, merger, or sale of its
property, assets, and business as an entirety or substantially as an
entirety) shall be proposed:
then the Company shall give notice in writing of the event to the Warrantholder,
as provided in Section 15 hereof, at least 20 days prior to the date fixed as a
record date or the date of closing the transfer books for the determination of
the stockholders entitled to any relevant dividend, distribution, subscription
rights or other rights or for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote
on such proposed dissolution, liquidation, or winding up. The notice shall
specify the record date or the date of closing the transfer books, as the case
may be. Failure to mail or receive notice or any defect therein shall not affect
the validity of any action taken with respect thereto.
SECTION 13. CHARGES DUE UPON EXERCISE
The Company shall pay any and all issue or transfer taxes, including,
but not limited to, all federal or state taxes, that may be payable with respect
to the transfer of this Warrant or the issue or delivery of Warrant Shares upon
